There are more than 89,000 new strokes in Canada each year − about one every six minutes − but better and faster treatment means there are more stroke survivors than ever before.
How we can help:
Our After Stroke program is a personalized recovery program that helps survivors and their families move forward after a stroke.
The effects of stroke vary from person to person. A stroke may cause problems with speaking, understanding and moving around. It can affect a person’s mental health and make them feel isolated. It can also affect family, friends and others around the stroke survivor and their relationships with them.
Our After Stroke coordinators work one-on-one with stroke survivors and their families to connect them with:
- a personalized recovery plan,
- resources in their community,
- and a network of support to help navigate the journey ahead.
Our vision is for a world where stroke survivors and their families can recover and live active, healthy and connected lives. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke – and we are here to help make it possible. Find out more about our national After Stroke program at
